I don’t understand why people want to “work” in a video game. Games are made for fun and relaxation.
^This.
I really hope the sword will be in the gemstore. Or otherwise easy to obtain.
I think the best way is to provide multiple options to obtain the sword.
Nice find. Hope this means what I think it means
Killing people with grenades on a flying airship while trying to be stealthy would be rather stupid.
When we fight him on the other hand he has no need for stealth.
No, no, i was referring to the victims that survived the crash,
but were killed on Dry Top when Destiny Edge 2.0 went around investigating.
Or did i misread that part?
I believe in the part where you find the bodies, they also mention those Zephyrites were killed before the crash.
we know for long time that Ceara voice changed after her transformation into scarlet
In one of the living story missions you get to listen to a Journal of scarlet before she went into the Omadd’s machine, and her voice was exactly the same.
Ceara/Scarlet has been voiced by Tara Strong, there has never been another voice actor.
It is the same voice actress, but she even said how she changed her voice for “teen” Scarlet and mad Scarlet.
Ah yes that is true, she means she changed her voice acting, the way she uses her voice. But it is still the same voice. Just listen to some of the other voices Tara Strong has done (Like Twilight Sparkle) you would hardly recognise it as the same voice actor

Wait a bit. It’ll be in gemstore in 2 weeks.
I hope so. The alternative is a boring grind.
I have to disagree. I like the dialogue.
kitten now I have to go back there.
EDIT: and of course I can’t just replay that mission, I have to replay the entire kitten episode…

The zone and story will be permanent, you can always revisit those story missions as long as you unlock them. If you do not unlock them in time, you can always purchase them on the gemstore.
I am not sure about Achievements though.
I’d post this in the Account Issues forum section.
Well I rather buy cool stuff from the gemstore than having to do some Ascended/legendary grind for it (booooriiiinggg).
Yes this update is amazing. Especially the story content, not just one 3 minute instance with barely any story this time.
I love it. This is the way to go Anet.
As to the Elite Achievements section, this quote is troubling: " He gave examples like keeping all NPCs alive throughout the encounter or never falling to the boss." Never letting NPCs die? When has that ever worked in an MMO to the point that it was a fun thing to do? I am not talking about it mechanically working. I am talking about players being super stoked to do an escort mission and really enjoying it. Keeping NPCs alive has always been a chore in MMOs. Can we please do away with this notion that players find it enjoyable?
“Elite” achievement. Get good. Besides, most GW2 NPCs are pretty boss, so it shouldn’t be that hard. I remember when Teq was first updated, we used to kite the champs attacking the turrets to Rox and watch her kick kitten . She’d go all Mama Bear mode on them.
I did say, “When has it ever been fun?” and “I am not talking about it mechanically working…”. The point was, when has that ever been something players look forward to? Do you ever hear a player say, “Boy oh boy, that escort mission was a real hootenanny!”
I like escort missions. I’m sure some other people do as well. I’m also sure some people hate them. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad design.
The player’s failure gets predicated on something they can’t control. Namely, the fact that the escortee has the self-preservation instincts of a cruller at a police precinct, and so there’s the endless rounds of ‘I did everything right, but I still failed.’"
I personally hate escort missions with a burning passion. I’m perfectly fine with challenging content, but the chances of success should depend entirely on me (or other players), not some NPC whose intellect can be put to shame by a glass of water.

Did you create a Necromancer to go along with this topic?
A moderator insisted the discussion to be continued here.
So here we are
You should always expect high standarts from developers (even if the chance at getting them is very low). If customers never expect anything special, they will get none.
They didn’t say that it opens. It’s just there.
ahem
If there won’t be a new zone on July 1th, then that is terrible wording.
a strategy working well =/= design flaw
The same strategy working in every single situation is
tank holds aggro
healer heals
dps’ers chill and dpsit works every fight clearly a design flaw
You know what, you are right.
I don’t even know why I brought it up.

I said the fact stacking is used a lot is a direct result of a design flaw.
Learn 2 read.So in the past decade tanks are design flaws or exploits in your opinion?
Nope, don’t put words in my mouth.
Also I never said I’m against stacking. I use it a lot in my dungeon runs, because it works really well. But I also cannot deny it made dungeons incredibely easy, in stacks you are pretty much invincible and most bosses can’t counter it. But you can’t blame people for doing it regardless, it’s easy money.
Invincible? You should take the time at some point to thank the people carrying you. Either that or you’re decked out in top tier PHIW Cleric Facetank Mode.
Carrying me? PHIW cleric facetank mode?
Well well, aren’t you the condescending one today. Any other false accusations you wish to make?

Remember Glint’s lair in GW1 was inside a single grain of sand in the crystal desert. If the offspring of Glint also has her powers then it’s size is irrelivant. It could fit anywhere.
I have been to the lair and also read the books but I do not remember Glints Lair fitting in a single grain of sand.
Not saying you are wrong, I just don’t remember.
hooman
Isn’t that how the Ferengi pronounce the word “human”?
More like hewmaahn

Well they must have gotten together at least once if Malchor is indeed the father of Grenth.
Unless anet wants to immitate the Bible.

It intentionul to keep teh grammur kittens buzy.
Ball-up and AOE. The most /facepalm of ‘strategies’ in any proper MMO.
If it’s a facepalm strategy it wouldn’t work so well.
This stacking is the direct result of a design flaw. The game is made in such a way that stacking works exceptionally well. Too well.

I suspect near the end of July 1th (GMT +1)
Thus I end up laughing at humans, and making a gorgeous sylvari thief that I have yet to see any human even come close to equaling visually.
Now that is something highly subjective
Looks really nice.
Though it’s still subjective

Yeah..it’s not really a baby dragon anymore.
They’re gonna need a bigger boat…
That is a good point. Her offspring must be gigantic right now, so it will never fit.
Unless it’s offspring that hatched later from an egg we do not know about yet.
Glint’s offspring could still be quite small. Glint wasn’t all that big herself. Also, how old do dragons live? It seems that Glint’s offspring would still be quite young.
There’s no evidence that says Glint’s child is large.
I’m pretty sure those dragons don’t take hundreds of years to mature.
Anyways, I’m glad you’re so sure despite the fact you have no evidence.
I can say the same about you.
It wouldn’t make any sense at all for dragon champions (which is exactly what glint, tequatl and the shatterer etc are) to take hundreds of years to mature. If that was the case, using those dragons would be highly impractical.
Not only that, everytime we kill the Shatterer another dragon takes it’s place, since “Shatterer” is a rank, and only one dragon can hold that rank at any given time.
(source) So Kralkatorrik’s dragons must be produced/bred at an extraordinary pace. Unless you actually think Kralk has a limitless supply of dragon champions.

Mordremoth will kill Taimi. Kasmeer escaped the last one, but the history of Snaff must repeat itself. Because tears. Everywhere.
Nah, you know how developers are when it comes to killing children in their video games. Everytime a child is murdered in a video game hundreds of whiners come and complain about the game.
Taimi isn’t a child, she’s an asuran. Asurans are fair game, no matter what age because they’re so arrogant.
She’s a Progeny, which is basically the same thing as a child.
Well they may be arrogant, but the fact they have the most advanced technology is undeniable.
WOOOSH! You totally missed my point.
Nope, I just chose to ignore it because you also completely ignored my point.
Can Anet fix this, please?
Something must be broken before it can be fixed.
Working as intended.
(I’m going to get so much flak for this ^^ )

But doing the pre event make you more prone to diminishing return.
dont’ want to spend 15 minutes and get nothing from doing world boss.
You won’t get DR from just one pre event.
you will, try it yourself with a few character. A bunch of people get DR even without doing the pre event. Usually rezoning fix the problem. (usually)
besides, you get karma for doing the pre event. And since karma is quite valuable, those people that need it dont’ mind doing it.
I won’t, I’ve been doing been playing since launch. If just one event causes me to get DR, I would have known it by now. Only if I do a lot of events in a short time (like for example in the pavilion, champ trains or during the scarlet invasions) I got DR. And even then I still got something for the events, just not much.
Dynamic Events use a DR system in order to limit players from excessively farming one area. DR is character specific, and switching between characters will bypass the effects of DR. DR is not event specific, but rather area specific. It is designed to prevent congestion in one particular map, and to discourage illegal activities such as botting. DR triggers after the player passes a set limit of events, usually after a player has cycled through events on a map for over three hours. Potential rewards are reduced dramatically right after the player bypasses the limit.
If diminishing returns kicked in after one event, champ trains wouldn’t exist and the pavilion would be empty.
But doing the pre event make you more prone to diminishing return.

stargate SG1/Atlantis are true high quality TV series, GoT is a sidewalk compare to that.
then again, older series are generally better then the crap they make these days.
Good idea!
Also, this would have made Snaff the most powerful Asura mesmers in GW2 history. None of the lesser dragons (Claw of Jormag, Teq, Shatter, etc) would have had anything over Snaff… he battled the mind of an elder dragon. What does that say about about present day mesmers? Much, much weaker. If Snaff could hold his own against an elder dragon, where does that put the rest of us?
A typical case of Gameplay – Story segration.
I think Arenanet just automatically deletes any thread with a Server name in it and claims it’s a match up thread :P
So most are really complaining about nothing accent a different damage mechanism for bosses being implemented. Anet so far has been very conservative on what they add to GW2.
I don’t mind other damage mechanisms being added. But not one that requires gear that can only be obtained in very specific (and boring (imo)) ways. Sure the trinkets are easy enough to obtain, but the weapons and armor are a nightmare. I absolutely hate crafting.. Getting a crafting profession to 500 alone takes tons of gold.

Just ignore those people. Everyone uplevels have just as much right as everyone else to enjoy that content.
What about we keep AR where it belongs, in Fractals.
If you guys need harcore stuff try teequatl alone or the Worms with 3 people
or play Fractals.
You can also join Pvp if bored.You guys have to understand one thing.
A-Net learned that the majority player doesn’t want Raids, Zerking, hard core farming,
AR or whatever ultra stuff you guys play.
The regular player wants a nice fantasy world with epic storys and being a hero.
I don’t have any interest in changing the game play to a hard core game.
I am interested in the story not in loot or titles or whatever.Thankfully A-Net leaned a lot and went back to personal experiences.
I’m not looking for “extra spicy hardcoreness of doom” content. But it would be nice to have another use for my ascended armor OTHER than high level fractals.
Ascended armor never should have existed in the first place. Anet just added it to satisfy the people who kept begging for gear grind.
No, never ever. This will make ascended gear a requirement.
Keep Agony Resistance where it belongs and keep ascended gear optional.
As it is now, I can happily ignore Fractals.
I’d be fine with it if Ascended gear can be traded though.

Very nice

I keep seeing more people claim that Glint’s offspring has been hidden inside the Zephyrite ship. Although this sounds really interesting, I would like to know if there’s any evidence supporting this or if it’s just a wild guess.
Anyone willing to clarify?
I wonder, is Liadri even a real person, or just a transformed watchknight like all other bosses in the pavilion?
I was too lazy to photoshop them all (20 characters) so I took a more simple route
If the Elder Dragons are some plot of Mother Nature to preserve magical balance, then Mother Nature can go to hell.
We prefer to stay alive thank you very much.
